Building management responsibility for a better global world

The 2009 Forum's proceedings are online:

"Speakers gave their assessments of the situation of our planet, their views of the corporate environment following the financial tsunami experienced
worldwide.

The common statement that the world was becoming flat was questioned, and mentioning the context of our planet - with its many problems of poverty,environment, Ponzi schemes, growing income gaps – speakers emphasized how civil society had lost confidence in business and in its leaders.

Several analysis lead to optimism and confidence in the capacity of business to take the leadership in bringing out the dramatic change necessary challenging the dominant paradigm and attempting to bring stakeholders together."
